Chief Justice John Roberts spoke out in vain Tuesday against a lower court ruling he says will grant drunk drivers \'one free swerve\' that could potentially end someone\'s life. Roberts wanted the Supreme Court to review the lower court ruling but he failed to persuade enough of his colleagues. The court declined to hear an appeal from Virginia officials who had their drunk driving conviction of Joseph A. Moses Harris, Jr. thrown out by that state\'s Supreme Court. Police were notified by an anonymous tipster that Harris was driving intoxicated, but the arresting officer did not see Harris break any traffic laws.
